GUYANA’s highest placed competitor at the inaugural Caribbean Junior Karting Academy Championships, Rayden Persaud, has hopped one place to seventh after rounds three and four last weekend.

Rayden, who had positive results with two fifth place and one seventh place finishes on Saturday, returned on Sunday and placed10th, 8th, 7th and 6th respectively to complete the weekend. He currently sits on 125 points, three ahead of Barbados’ Kayleigh Catwell who has 122.

Barbadian Adam Mallalieu leads the charge with 295 points, ahead of his countryman Calem Maloney with 292 and Jamaican Ryan Chisholm (209).
The Jamaican duo of Zander Williams and Tommi Gore are fourth and fifth respectively with 186 and 182 points with Adam Marshall (132 points) just ahead of Rayden.
Nathan Rahaman is the second highest placed Guyanese at 8th with 91 points after the weekend, surpassing Jeremy Ten-Pow who is now 9th.

Nathan’s weekend included some enterprising drives with a sixth, a tenth, a ninth and an eight place finish on Sunday, coupled with an eighth, ninth, DNF and tenth place finishes.
Ten-Pow, on the other hand, had a torrid weekend, getting a best result of seventh place finish on Saturday. Sunday did not yield the results he was hoping for with his highest being 8th.

Zachary Persaud also had an improved performance, moving up to 10th after some consistent driving as he continues in his 125cc path.
Paige Mendonca also had some impressive drives as she sits 11th in the standings.
The other Guyanese competitor Elan Rahaman opted out of rounds 3 and 4 and will not be competing in the final two rounds billed for March 2 and 3.

There was a lot to cheer for in the Guyanese camp, however, when Justin Ten-Pow thrilled those in attendance with his battles with that country’s Logan Stollmyer.
Stollmyer picked up two first place and one second place finish while Justin picked up a first, a second and one fifth place finish.
